    As an American I realize this will harm me. However, I realize this will harm rich people a lot more. DO IT!

      At this point, I’m not sure rich people in the US can be harmed from the outside. Whatever they lose, they will steal from you to compensate.

      That’s how feudalism works.

        1. If we all have less, theres less to take.

        2. That implies they have absolute authority, which is just silly. As powerful as the rich have become in the USA, they require support of the people to do anything at all.

          Yeah, it’s that item 2 that is looking incorrect.

          But by any means, I’ll be glad to be proven wrong.

            The rich elected Donald Trump and tried to take away Medicaid funding, but Medicaid is still getting its money, just as one high profile example among many.
